Room 1 has been learning about ‘Cultures in Our Community’.
First the children found out what a culture is and what a community is.
They then defined beliefs, rituals, traditions and values.
The children were then able to identify 7 cultures in the community they live in.
After that they brainstormed all the questions that they wanted to answer about these cultures.
They had to select appropriate questions and we made a questionnaire that they could ask people they knew from their particular culture they were studying.
After all the information was gathered they had to organise it onto the graphic organisers.
We then discussed the information and looked for similarities and differences between cultures in our community.
Each child then had to write a similarity and difference from each of the sections: funerals, dance, music, celebrations, weddings and names.
Keira: I have learnt that maori people say a lot of karakia
and are very respectful at funerals.
Lachlan: I leanrt that Kiribati people are respectful at funerals and I learnt
that Dutch people and Fijian Indian people listen to classical music.
Amber-Rose: I learnt that Maori, Scottish, Dutch and Fijian
Indian people have funerals in churches
Macy: I learnt that Maori and Cambodian people call their aunties, Aunty.
I learnt that Maori, Scottish and Cambodian people have weddings at a church.
Zoe: I learnt that Fijian Indian people fast for a week after a funeral.
Ryley: I learnt that Kiribati people call their Fijian Indian people
call their grandparents Nani and Dada.
